After the release of his much talked about second season of Monster, series creator Ryan Murphy is back with a third outing for the successful franchise.

This time around, he's focusing on the true story of Ed Gein, played by Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam in the series. Hunnam told Tudum of his portrayal: “This is going to be the really human, tender, unflinching, no-holds-barred exploration of who Ed was and what he did. But who he was being at the centre of it, rather than what he did.”

The eight-part series will not only dig into Gein's life and crimes, but also seek to interrogate Gein's influence on popular culture.

As per the synopsis: "From Psycho to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs, Gein’s macabre legacy gave birth to fictional monsters born in his image and ignited a cultural obsession with the criminally deviant. Ed Gein didn’t just influence a genre — he became the blueprint for modern horror."

But just when is the series landing on Netflix? Read on to find out exactly that.
